During a campaign speech in Glendale, Arizona, Trump campaign vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance criticized the plea deal taken by three terrorists involved in the Sept. 11 attacks awaiting trial in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. Vance expressed his disbelief at the Biden-Harris Department of Justice's decision to spare the death penalty for al-Qaeda terrorist Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, among others.
The Department of Defense announced pretrial agreements with Khalid Shaikh Mohammad, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin 'Attash, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi. Vance condemned the Biden-Harris administration, accusing them of prioritizing political agendas over national security.
